Discover the Serenity of Kastoria on a 4-Day Yoga Retreat
Imagine waking up in a peaceful corner of Greece, surrounded by rolling hills and the gentle sounds of nature. This Kastoria 4-Day Yoga Retreat offers just that—a chance to slow down, reconnect, and refresh both body and mind. For $867 per person, you’ll spend three nights at the Loggas Hotel, situated in the tranquil hills of Central Macedonia, with a schedule packed with yoga, meditation, hikes, and water adventures on Lake Kastoria.
Two things we particularly like about this retreat are the focus on authentic experiences—from guided hikes along the renowned trails E4 and E6, to paddling on calm waters—and its excellent balance of activity and relaxation. The daily yoga sessions are designed to ground and energize you, while free time allows for reflection or a well-deserved spa break.
A possible consideration for travelers is the physical nature of the activities: you should be in good health and comfortable with light to moderate physical activity. This retreat isn’t ideal for those with mobility issues or severe health concerns, as it involves hiking and kayaking. If you’re seeking a peaceful yet active escape that offers a genuine connection to nature, this experience is a superb choice—especially for yoga enthusiasts and nature lovers.
